Organic: Amines

Question:

Case: Read the following passage and answer accordingly

Amines are prepared mainly by the reduction of nitro compounds. Alkyl or benzyl halide on reaction with an ethanolic solution of ammonia undergoes nucleophilic substitution reaction in which the halogen atom is replaced by an amino group. Amines are prepared from Phthalimide. Treating an amide with bromine in an aqueous or ethanolic solution of sodium hydroxide result in amines.

Amine that cannot be prepared by Gabricl- Phthalmidie synthesis is;
Options:
Aniline
Methyl amine
Ethyl amine
Propyl amine
Correct Answer:
Aniline
Explanation:
Only aliphatic primary amines can be prepared by Gabriel synthesis. Aniline cannot be prepared by this method.
